thanks elaine, i might be utilizing what we already have at home so i don't have to spend a lot of money for the baskets...i know it is a very good organizing investment, i might buy some more but i need to shop first in my own home :)

I am a Pinterest girl and have been doing the garage attack myself and got a lot of ideas from there. You can check out my pinned ideas here: http://pinterest.com/liv2learn/garage-extravaganza/. From looking at your shelves, you have a couple of categories that you can create - camping, car care, tools, etc. I would take everything down in the garage (time consuming, but SO worth it) and sort into your various categories. You can them see how much you have of each to determine the shelf space you need and know what you are going to donate

I agree with Elaine that baskets are a necessity for this type of project so try to find ones in colors that make you happy, fit the stuff you want to go in them and are (of course) budget friendly. Since you have the nice rack above, I would move the cooler up there if it is used infrequently or if used a lot, down on the ground next to the shelves. The ladder should go on a ladder rack, which are relatively inexpensive at Home Depot or Lowe's or you could do a DIY option. Hope this helps!

I would start by emptying the shelves and categorizing, purging what you have. Then, take inventory and figure out storage needs. Large plastic crates/bins/baskets are great for garage shelves. I also love using hooks for hanging things and maximizing garage wall space.

I like to organize, make some kidstuff to either have fun with the kids or to explore something new, & share some mom fashion to stay stylish. Though I try to diy, my hubs always need a lot little bit of convincing. Living in a basic builder house,I'm always looking for inspiration whether from a magazine or in the www.
